Is there anyway of Crawford winding up with a better résumé than Spence?

    Outside of beating Spence or Boots?

    What would he have to do?

    Hard to say. You know if Lopez moves to 147 and Bud beats him down that "it was too high for Lopez 140 his his best weight" will be the cry.

    Welter is a poor, top heavy division these days. You got two KNOWN good guys and one of them is a former car wreck survivor .

    Boxrec top 10 has Brook at 4. Mike Garcia at 7, I think. These are not top 147 dudes. Brook is worn. Mikey's a midget.

    So Buds chances are badly limited outside of fighting Spence himself.

    A win over Charlo sure would help.

    Either way, I think it should apparent now that Bud is higher caliber than Spence.

    The Porter who fought Spence was the same Porter who fought Bud, and you see the difference in how Shawn turned out.

    It also seems doubtful to win that Brook, even on his best day, would push Bud.

    Spence wore Brook out. Bud took Brook out. That's the difference. Bud just went up there gears in 3 seconds. Spence doesn't do that. I think that's largely where they differ apart from the obvious.

    Yeah, that is the difference.

    Bomac tells Crawford going into the 10th that Porter is beating him - boom. Porter is gone.

    Spence can't switch into a diff gear like that.

    I wanted to see it, but Bud beefing with Arum makes it a no-go.

    How it would actually go? Taylor's only prayer would be Father Time catching up.

    Short of that, Crawford would dissect him, then stop him.

    Josh could barely get past Regis, and though I'm a big Regis fan, there isn't a single facet of boxing than Prograis is on par with Crawford in.

    Possible But UNLIKELY, Unless Bud Signs w/PBC, Who Seemed to Be "Concerned" w/Bud's Drawing Power, Last REED Heard...

    Regardless, it Would Reflect VERY Poorly on PBC if Crawford-Spence Doesn't Come to Fruition...Bud ISN'T "Across the Street" Anymore...

    Brook hasn't won a fight at welterweight in 6 years. Real credible ranking

    Crawford
    Spence
    Ennis
    Ugas
    Ortiz
    Butaev
    Stanionis

    All better
